Scratch that, JT Miller backed out of the Pipeline Show on Saturday. Via twitter When is a good time to talk about it? I'm curious to know what caused him to change his mind.

JT Miller is scheduled to be a guest on Edmonton's Pipeline Show on Saturday. Hopefully we will get some answers as to what changed over the last 2-3 weeks. At the NHL Draft he reiterated his commitment to UND and stated that he was going to play hard "just like the Sioux do."

Yes, but over the last five years or so, how many of the "I've always dreamed of playing for the Gophers" type of players actually stuck it out and wore the "M" with pride? It seems to me a lot of the blue chippers find out that it isn't as great as they thought it would be (or they don't get their way) and proceed to bail early. See: Kyle Okposo, Jordan Schroeder, etc. I understand Lucia is under intense pressure to land the Minnesota blue chippers, but that strategy hasn't worked out well for him in recent years. A few weeks ago, Seth Ambroz stated on the NHL Network that UND is a better fit for his style and chose his words carefully when talking about the Gophers. It will be interesting to see how he does at Minnesota.
